Warm up: 11-3
Watch the clip and read a part of the speech CLIP
A house divided against itself cannot stand. I believe this government
cannot endure, permanently, half slave and half free. I do not expect
the Union to be dissolved — I do not expect the house to fall — but I
do expect it will cease to be divided. It will become all one thing or all
the other. Either the opponents of slavery will arrest the further
spread of it, and place it where the public mind shall rest in the
belief that it is in the course of ultimate extinction; or its advocates
will push it forward, till it shall become lawful in all the States, old
as well as new — North as well as South.
In a Few sentences, explain the speech and its
importance in the Civil War Era
